The Chinese manufacturer, SDC, might be the first to break the 700Hz barrier on gaming monitors by launhcing the 720Hz WOLED gaming display.
SDC Teases Flash 540-Meta WOLED 2K Display That Can Run at a Whopping 720Hz Refresh Rate and Offers 335 Nits of Brightness in SDR Mode
If MSI's and ASUS's recently unveiled 600Hz gaming monitors aren't too fast for you, then SDC might be the one that could scratch your itch for high refresh-rate gaming. This isn't your regular 360Hz or 500Hz gaming monitor but a 720Hz one that is probably the first to break the 700Hz barrier.
While the official unveil is due, the company did tease the monitor and its specifications as spotted on Reddit. SDC is a Chinese monitor manufacturer which has reportedly prepared a WOLED 720Hz gaming monitor. Unlike the MSI and ASUS's 600Hz offerings, this doesn't use the TN panel and currently the max refresh rate you can have on an OLED panel is 500Hz. ASUS and MSI have prepared their own flagship 2K@480Hz QD-OLED gaming monitors with Samsung's 3rd gen QD-OLED panels, but the SDC 720Hz gaming monitor will utilize LG's 4th Gen W-OLED display.
So, in a nutshell, the SDC gaming monitor isn't just the fastest when it comes to refresh rate, but it is also the fastest OLED-based gaming monitor, which runs in a 540Hz-720Hz range. The monitor boasts a 1440p resolution but, since it is equipped with an older DP 1.4 port, it raises some serious questions. DP 2.1 UHBR20 is the only port which can offer uncompressed visuals at 1440p at such high refresh rates as it offers 80 Gbps bandwidth. We don't know if the SDC gaming monitor can do it at 1440p, but it's likely that the monitor would have to be switched to a 1080p resolution to display a 720Hz refresh rate.
Nonetheless, the specs of the monitor look impressive, particularly the brightness, which maxes at 335 nits in SDR mode and up to 1500 nits in HDR. The Flash 540-Meta won't cater to the demands of the masses and seems only beneficial to those who can achieve 700+ Fps, which is only possible in some eSports titles. The pricing and availability are yet to be disclosed and we expect it to cost over $1000.
